Charlie Sheen reveals he is HIV positive: 'It’s a hard three letters to absorb'

Charlie Sheen has released himself from prison — but might wind up in a courtroom.

The "Anger Management" actor announced Tuesday he was diagnosed with HIV four years ago in what he called "a mule kick" to his soul.

With multiple civil lawsuits now looming, the famously loose-lipped lothario said he's paid "countless millions" in hush money to keep his status a secret.

Sheen, 50, learned about his infection when he sought care for a "seismic and debilitating three-day cluster migraine" that he blamed on a possible brain tumor, he said in a statement obtained by the Daily News.

The unidentified women — described as a mix of adult entertainers, fans and escorts — are considering claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraud, sexual battery and negligent transmission of an STD, the lawyer said.

"These aren't shakedowns. If Charlie Sheen's name was Charlie Brown, he still could be sued," the bar-certified lawyer said. "What he did was not only civilly actionable but probably criminal, too."

The lawyer said at least 10 women had contacted him to represent their interests.

They're exploring their legal options but are "concerned about going public because they don't want their parents to know and don't want to be labeled as having been exposed," he said.
